  15. Hello. What to do?

    What you were supposed to do here was write something telling us a bit about you. The question mark tells me very little. So, what brought you here? What are you looking to learn and/or share? What are your hopes in joining this community? I am going to approve your account, even with the amazingly scant amount of information shared, and hope for the best. Welcome to the bums.

  23. New member here wanting to start the Tao path

    Hi MPENA, While (as a female) I typically avoid the topic of semen retention, I have seen more than enough posts from men who have developed issues while following what they understood of Mantak Chia to feel comfortable strongly suggesting that self learning (this) through books or videos tends to be a precarious endeavor I would personally advise against. There is a wealth of information here on your other areas of interest, and I would suggest focusing more on those. Your account is approved. Happy exploring, and welcome to the bums. You will find three topics pinned at the top of this sub forum regarding rules and expectations, please make sure you’ve read them (if you haven’t already done so). warm regards, ilu

    Hello Lemonclad, While I have no issue with your English (which is actually pretty darn good), your request for free pdf’s which aren’t freely available to the public did lead to some initial hesitation in approving your account - as this isn’t acceptable here. As the rest f your post seems sincere, I am going to approve your account, with an initial gentle warning that sharing pdf’s of copy written material is a no no here. Please don’t do it, and don’t ask others to do it. This being said, there are three topics pinned at the top of this sub forum regarding rules and expectations, please read them. welcome and warm regards, ilu
